Trying out a Demco side dump

[@lynnlutjen3819]

Be thankful you have the full frame dump trailer! I used to haul this stuff on 39ft frameless and would make you pucker up when load would hang up and trailer would start swaying in the wind. Love your farm work 👍👍👍👍

[@farmerchris1]

👍we pulled a 39’ frameless a couple years, for sure these 35’ frame trailers are better but are heavier.

[@dansbrown1313]

Hello Chris, Those Demco trailers are amazing when used properly. I'm surprised Mike didn't warn you about setting up the tractor to pull away at a 30 degree angle before you dump so the tractor pulls the trailer away from the pile when it's dumped. With your end dump trailers, I used the tailgate to slap the trailer when you pull away to shake the material stuck to the top of the trailer. May sound silly but it works quite well. Thanks for posting.

….kinda sounds like that ole gal that needs a little spank

[@terryrogers1025]

Oh the joy of working in cold weather. It is a pleasure to ride along with you and see as well as hear all the things that transpire during a day in the life of Farmer Chris, looks to me like your planning and setting up for upcoming season while working and executing the prepped plan for the season your currently in, that is to say, farming is 24 - 7- 365 hands on, head in the game business. I wish you well sir, thanks for the update, enjoy watching.

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Awesome two videos in short order ! Thanks Chris ! Loving the farming in Indiana videos ! Similar and very different to the UK 🇬🇧 all at the same time !

[@kennywells831]

good to see u are back chris enjoy seeing how you farmer do thing in Indiana .

[@rockman531]

Hey Farmer Chris, Not too many people I know go looking for poop to haul home by the ton! :) Thumbs up! Stay safe in that crazy weather! Jim

[@rugerfarming5387]

The struggles are real. Be safe Farmer Chris. Glad to see ya making videos again.

Glad to see you making videos again. stay warm out there

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. See your taking tips from DP on the comment generator, nice 👍. Good to see the side dump trailer come out of hiding. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@douglasrdeaton]

A tip for dumping a side dumping. Turn to the left so after you dump when you back up it pulls you away from the pile instead of over it.

[@oldretireddude]

Can you dump the side-dump with the tractor turned more away from the dump area? Maybe drive past the dump area slightly then turn hard driver and back the tractor into the dump-spot? This might allow the tractor to rotate the trailer tires out and away from the dump pile as you pull away.

[@Mordakai04]

Thank you Chris, I enjoyed the video and new content, I said it last video worth saying again. It's great to see you producing new content again. Already looking forward to the next when time allows you to drops another.

[@mikebradley6880]

I wish I could say we didn't have that problem of stuff not wanting to start, frozen brakes, frozen to the ground, spinning in place, but...we feel your pain!! lol Thanks for another video!

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Thx for letting us see the other side of farming….it can’t always just be about the harvest.

[@roesmith5492]

🤫🤫Trick for side dumping is to slightly jacknife tractor on dumping side so you can back trailer away from what's being dumped👍👍

[@KevinHeadlam-Tasmania]

I would position the trailer with the rear axles at the dump location and the prime mover moving away from the dump line. Stop, Reverse on lock until the prime mover axles move only the front of the trailer is in position to dump (- you still have weight on the drive to aid traction). Dump and drive away - because of the jackknife the prime mover's tyres are not chocked wit with load spill and the rear axles are pivoting away from the spill

[@ericpaul4575]

I think DP mentioned a similar technique the last video he had on side dumper.

[@GARDENER42]

@@ericpaul4575 Aye, I remember that.

[@mariek8578]

So glad you weren't hauling that sloppy corn gluten!!! That would have definitely froze in the trailer and wouldn't be accessible until March!!😂 Thanks for the vids and showing the detailed planning & prep our great farmers do! 💞

[@razorblade220]

Chris keep up the great job, enjoying your channel !

[@louGriggs1944]

Another good video Farmer Chris. Thank you.

2 videos miracles do happen. Keep them coming Chris loving them

[@hastingshayandtreefarm4402]

Love the video Chris just totally different from the way we do in Texas for sure.

[@markkenes4848]

Great vid Chris. Seen the tires spinning and first thought typical Chris always getting stuck but didn't see how all that crap was in front of the tires ,!!!!! Was so cold here I didn't go out for 3 days. Heating blanket felt nice !!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@daviddelaney5180]

Love the video! Looked like for a moment that DP towing was going to be activated!

[@shirleyreynolds2090]

Yea! Love us some Farmer Chris! Have a safe and blessed day!

[@davidbrodeur2433]

Thank you Chris for such educational video on what you do day to day, we all know how much work it is to make a video for us Thank you and keep making them😊

[@ihobbs101]

Thanks for taking us along on you day of trucking it is good to see put up more content 😀😀

[@lipswift2939]

God bless farmers. I know that smell all too well. Well enough I could actually smell it through the ole tv. Thanks for showing us the inter workings of farming. Still was hoping for Farmer Chris as SecAg.

[@johnmarshall9065]

Progress is being made . . . . Thanx for the video.

[@OregonBob1955]

Great video! Maybe on a future “A few points from perfect” podcast, you could tell us the advantages and disadvantages of using pig vs. beef vs turkey manure as it pertains to crop harvest? Keep up the great work!

[@mariek8578]

I'd be interested in learning the difference also!👍🏻

[@robertgielis4287]

hallo from belgium, nice to see you chris and thank you for to take me along i am a farmer son and grow up on a farm, nice to see you work !!

[@coaterdave]

Pros and cons of a side dump vs tail dump. Cool!

[@studiosoftmorecambe6879]

In that instance farmer Chris, I see disadvantages of a side dump trailer. One suggestion would be to turn the tractor unit, 45 degrees when you do a right hand dump. That way, you could pull away from the heap rather then try to drive through it. 45 degrees right would allow you to see the dump and then you could back out.

[@legend7ify]

G'day Chris, WOW! That's a lot of turkey poo. Glad to see you posting again mate. Cheers and God bless, Malcolm.

[@FarmerTom242]

A lot of guys around here use belt trailers to haul chicken litter and it works good I hope to get one some day but I’ve used a frameless end dump to haul some chicken litter last spring and it was some wet heavy manure it slid out of my dump pretty good but my dump also has a liner in it which I think helps tremendously…keep the videos coming

[@MikeRobinson-e8u]

Enjoy your content love the truck related videos introduce to Derby thur Kleeman getting mikes Mack stuck years ago have a great day

[@SpeedSmith]

Chris, if you were to turn right just as you are coming to a stop to unload, then unload, then the truck would be pulling trailer away from product at an angle. That may help to be able to pull away from the heap. Great video.

[@mariek8578]

That's what I was thinking. But we know as with anything else, one finds the best way to do it is on your last pass.😊

[@edwarddherde9536]

Glad you are posting Farmer Chris could you see other uses for the side dump on the farm because the safety of it my be more beneficial but only if it has other uses on the farm

[@farmerchris1]

I would be interested in trying a belt floor trailer.

[@edwarddherde9536]

@@farmerchris1 I could see where that might be a better fit for grain transport but it could be a maintenance nightmare got to love the simplicity of gravity

[@Crewsy]

⁠@@edwarddherde9536 No equipment eliminates maintenance issues. Might be different but they all require maintenance and different risks for each one. On road construction here it is rare to see a trailer that is a belt floor (live bottom) trailer because the safety outweighs the maintenance.

[@brianlail2063]

2 in one week glad to be able to see them

[@jackdawg4579]

A garden pressure sprayer full of detergent mix sprayed in the bed makes those sticky loads come out a lot easier.

[@janeylivingston3702]

New favorite!

[@farmerchris1]

Thank You

[@davebeckner1298]

Oh my, I understand having trouble with the first load, not understanding the trailer. But after that if you drive truck any at all, you know to angle your truck before you dump and then you can back out of the problem. You still don’t wanna angle it too far, but that is the beauty of a side. You can angle it some and not worry about tipping over.

[@richardhedrick5601]

Great video keep them coming

[@nicclark9791]

You had more snow down there then we have 8 hours north, was really cold hovering around zero but is warming up

[@SujakTuwin-t7g]

Good job Sir, love from lndonesia 😍😍😍 succes.

[@davidianero5528]

I’m pretty sure I watched dirt perfect figure out you have to come in at a 40° angle so that once you dump your pulling diagonal away from the pile I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@dansevern3291]

Here you go again, reminding me that I need to load out the goat manure from cleaning the old buck barn, and move it down to where we'll need it. (It's warmer here, but the tractor I have to use doesn't have a cab, so the warmer isn't all that much of a good thing when loading dusty dry manure.)

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Chris, Got to do some manure hauling myself! Great video! So, if the numbers worked, would you entertain buying a side-dump? Lee

[@farmerchris1]

It only hauls 11 ton on manure, getting 23-26 ton on other trailers, just doesn’t work on this situation, would like to try a belt floor trailer

[@raypeoples]

Been there and done that on a dump trailer, when I heard a slight noise when dumping I would drop the dump box immediately,never had one to fall over thankfully

[@AuctionIndiana]

Thank you! 🚚 🚜

[@bradydavis2813]

Dump until the material just starts infront of the trailer tires. Then pull foward a few feet and get the trailer tires on the material before you finish dumping. Then you can usually pull away from the pile. And it kicks away from the side you are dumping lass chance of tipping on less stable trailers.

[@MartyLacy]

Funny seeing you, d p is supposed to be truck driving..lol. keep up the video and have fun with it

[@mikeludwig4315]

[@ronneidert]

Just have to love the cold weather, trucks don’t want to start or move, manure doesn’t want to move, I don’t want to move…

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

Oops, I thought I was going to watch DP! Oh well, just as well. I have seen DP & Farmer Chris so many times it's almost the same. Turn the front wheels so you can back the tractor wheels away from the dump. Then you can pull forward, or at least that is what DP does.

[@mikespivey1015]

Love the videos

[@James_Scheid]

[@joshbutterfass5251]

The goal with a side dump trailer like that is to drive forward as the material is falling out of it so you don’t get stuck on whatever you are dumping onto the ground

[@johnwarren-649]

Needs Teflon liner in it really help with dumping that fluffy litter

[@philliptennis3537]

Great video Chris. So how was the Demco trailer? It definitely off loads easy and smoother

[@farmerchris1]

It’s a real nice trailer just doesn’t work for my situation

[@mikecostello1727]

I guess Mike forgot to tell you the trick to dumping and pulling away from the loads . 😂

[@jasonmay7569]

Would a plastic liner in the dump bed make the crap slide out better when it's cold?

[@kenore4003]

Joys of being a fulltime farmer. You get to work any 25 hours of the day 368 days a year. Anytime you have animals you can kiss any vacation goodby.

[@scssarge4409]

Chris, don't pull up straight. start turning rights you are going away from the heap so not to get stuck. just a thought.

[@howbow911]

Deep south here. What is all that white stuff on the ground and in the trees? It looks cold and wet. Is that some kind of winter crop? lol😬

[@hvy1ton]

SmithCo makes high volume side dumps.

[@michaelhalfman9844]

Mike needs an inter axle lock on his Mack and I bet Demco could come up with a higher capacity trailer for you.

[@MaxPhillips-dh9yz]

Are you playing the organic game or just cheaper fertilizer cost with the turkey litter?

[@farmerchris1]

Little cheaper and better fertilizer

[@raymondgochenour8725]

What would happen if you dumped part of the load and then pulled Ford or moved over and dumped the other half just a thought

[@DacDac-w7r]

[@merlepatterson]

The secret to side dumping is to angle the truck away from the dump area.

[@NotmeGK123]

My thought wonder if guy cud take an end dump trailer and make a side dump out of it little welder and cutting torch and thinking. 🤔

[@bobweatherford9876]

Stop dumping with the truck and trailer straight in line with each other. Turn just slightly toward away from the pile before you dump and then you can drive away every time. This is not a failing of the manure or the trailer.

[@kevincarver9949]

That’s what I’m talking about. Thanks

[@Timsmith-q3y]

Farmer Chris don’t you thank DP should go ahead and buy the Demco trailer and let you use it when you need to?

[@Kriss_L]

I swear at least half the video footage I've seen of that trailer has not been on DP's channel.

[@51ubetcha]

Is there any no toxic spray that can be applied to your dump trailer to make it slippery

[@locksny]

Did you hide a couple handfuls of chicken crap under Mikes seat ? 😁

[@farmerchris1]

No, I asked if he could smell poop in his truck!

[@kev4587]

You can fit a vibrater under the floor of the trailor that vibes the floor to help the material fall out of the tipper bin

[@VideosByAl]

Boy that's a nice Shit Wagon. Next time try idling in low gear while dumping. It does spread out some, but the rear tandem won't get hung up.

[@Donna-li9el]

put a plastic liner in it it will slide right out

Would a walking floor design of trailer work with all your types of turkey manure? Quite obviously no designs are likely to successful with loads frozen into the trailer.
